The white guy was swimming around with the ducks late this afternoon. They were at the far end of the creek so this is as good a picture as I could get. I went through two bird books and the only thing that matched the beak was a Mute Swan. I went through all the goose, duck, gull and shore birds since we are only 30 minutes from the ocean. As you can see, it is about the same size as the Mallards.
See how much smaller it is than the Canada Goose?
That long yellow beak with the black at the base makes me wonder. Is it a youngster? I was hoping it would come down the creek forward me, but it headed out to the river.

Then I ironed them flat.
And stared slicing them for four patches.
You know what? I need to make about two miles of strips. One mile wasn’t enough!
Maude and Doug are feeling better today. Doug is able to drink beer again and Maude is back to raising hell. Zip has decided that she smells right again or the cologne I put on him yesterday is still working. His nose is extra sensitive. I guess because it is so big. When I put flea drops on Maude he always gets a dose of cologne. All he can smell is cologne and it makes it easier to put flea drops on him. The things I have to do!
Gus doesn’t like his “chewable” heart-worm pills so I have to stuff them down his throat. I have done that with all my dogs including two German Shepherds. Someone asked me once if I wasn’t afraid of getting bit. I would never own a dog that I was afraid of. That’s just stupid. I always give Gus a treat after his pill. Then, I chase him around the house and try to take it from him. He thinks this is great fun. He’ll even deliberately drop it and pick back up before I can grab it.
Can you see the goose sitting on her eggs. I forget my extra lens when I walked around the bulkhead. Maybe I’ll get a better picture next week if I remember the lens.
